A federal appeals court in Washington has ruled that the Trump administration may continue to withhold funding from Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Free Asia, and Middle East Broadcasting Networks. This ruling temporarily reverses previous lower court decisions that had blocked such funding cuts. In contrast, Voice of America must reinstate journalists and resume programming. The ruling highlights Trump's long-standing opposition to these agencies, which he accuses of partisan bias, depriving them of crucial funding that supports news access for millions abroad.
